After making his decision, Chunsheng immediately asked his mother, "Which commune leader managed to get my brother-in-law's job taken away?"

The mother shook her head. "How could you let us know about this!"

Chunsheng continued, "What's the name of the person who replaced my brother-in-law? Can you find out?"

"No need to ask, your brother-in-law mentioned it before, I think his name is Pan something like Xing!"

"Pan Zixing!"

Just then, Song Mantun, the father, walked in from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he said angrily, "I still get so angry whenever I think about Jin Suo being replaced!"

"Because of that incident, Jin Suo and Chun Tao have been constantly fighting and arguing for the past few years, ruining their perfectly good life!"

Mother Liu Yan'e sighed helplessly, "They are commune leaders, we are just ordinary people, what can we do!"

At this moment, Chunmiao said angrily, "If it were me, I would go to the commune and make a scene, and take this matter to the highest leader of the commune. I don't believe he can ignore it."

Liu Yan'e smiled wryly, "You're oversimplifying things. It's not as easy as you think. If simply making a scene at the commune could solve everything, there wouldn't be so many muddled lawsuits in every village!"

Chunmiao bit her lip, then looked at Chunsheng and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think Mom has a point!"

Chunsheng smiled and looked at his father, asking, "Dad, do you know if Pan Zixing, the one who replaced Brother Jinsuo, is from my brother-in-law's village or another village?"

"Not from your brother-in-law's village!"

After Song Mantun finished speaking, he quickly recalled the events in his mind.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "I remember now, your older sister mentioned it before, it seems to be from Willow Twig Village?"

"And I also heard that this guy named Pan Zixing wasn't a veterinarian in their village before!"

Chunsheng and his two older sisters were shocked by their father's words.

Chunmiao looked on in astonishment, "If you're not a veterinarian, how did you manage to go to the commune's veterinary station and take my brother-in-law's job!"

"You can learn first if you don't know how!"

Chunzao explained in a playful tone, "My brother-in-law worked at the commune's veterinary station for so many years, and since someone could take his job with just a few words, it means that the person Pan Zixing knew must not have been a menial worker in the commune; he must have been at least a minor leader in some office!"

"Since they have the ability to get Pan Zixing into the commune's veterinary station, they have the ability to keep him there indefinitely."

Chunsheng agreed with his sixth sister Chunzao's deduction. If that person was just an ordinary commune worker, he would definitely not have the ability to replace a key figure like his eldest sister's husband.

Moreover, he was thinking that even if he found out who was behind Pan Zixing, it was obviously not enough to completely resolve this matter and help his brother-in-law get back to work at the commune's veterinary station by relying solely on the leaders of the commune.

Those people work together year-round, seeing each other all the time; who knows how complicated their relationships are?

The most effective solution is to look to a higher-level organization.

The simplest and most effective way to solve problems is to address them from the top down.

The commune's superior unit was the county, but it was not only unrealistic to go to the county leaders about this matter, but also really unnecessary.

If only we could find out the direct subordinate units of the commune's veterinary station, then we could go to them to report the problem. If even they can't handle it, then it's not too late to go to the county leaders.

But I need to figure out where to find out about this.

Now, there are two things that Chunsheng needs to figure out.

One question is which department is the superior unit of the commune's veterinary station, and the other is who helped Pan Zixing take the place of his brother-in-law.

Finding out these two things may seem difficult, but if you think about it carefully, there are still ways to do it.

Zhang Junwu is the village militia captain, so he must have some contact with the commune's armed forces department on a regular basis. We can ask him to help us inquire first.

Pan Zixing was from Liutiaozi Village, and Chunsheng's class monitor, Hu Aimin, also happened to be from that village.

When I get to school tomorrow, I can ask Hu Aimin; maybe he knows him!

The next morning, as soon as Chunsheng arrived at the threshing ground and met Zhang Junwu, he told him what he wanted to find out the day before.

Zhang Junwu was initially curious, then smiled and asked him why he would inquire about such matters.

No matter how hard Junwu racked his brains to imagine, he couldn't find any common ground between Chunsheng and the commune's veterinary station.

Chunsheng didn't want to hide it from Junwu, but he also didn't want to involve him in this matter.

He felt that given Zhang Junwu's upright and incorruptible nature, once he learned the truth, he would likely step in to help him resolve the matter.

They've already taken good care of him, and now that there's been a tomb raiding incident in the village, Junwu has to think about staking out the village's private plots with his militia every day.

Both emotionally and rationally, Chunsheng really didn't want to trouble Junwu with his own little matter.

So he told a little lie, saying he was asking around for a classmate.

To Chunsheng's surprise, Junwu told him that he didn't need to ask anyone else about this, as he already knew the name of the commune's veterinary station's superior unit.

If I remember correctly, the commune veterinary station should be under the jurisdiction of the animal husbandry section of the county agricultural bureau.

However, he didn't know who was specifically in charge.

Chunsheng told Junwu that it was already very kind of him to help his classmate find out this information, and that his classmate should ask around about other things himself.

After returning home from martial arts practice, Chunsheng used some time in the morning to rewrite his competition essay. He then checked that there were no errors in any of the words or punctuation marks in the entire article before he was finally relieved.

Hongqin had wanted to know from the very beginning what Chunsheng's essay for the competition actually contained.

She had wanted to ask, but she didn't dare.

I was always worried that knowing this would influence my own writing.

So, it wasn't until she finished her essay and was preparing to hand it in to her teacher at school that she asked about it on their way to school together at noon.

"What's the title of your essay? Can you tell me?"

"There's nothing to keep from you, just 'A Day in the Life of a Grandparent and Grandchild'!"

Hongqin murmured, "A Day in the Life of Grandparents and Grandchildren, this title doesn't sound like 'science fiction' at all! It seems no different from the narrative essays we usually write."

Chunsheng nodded. "The name wasn't that appealing. I changed it later. If you knew the old name, you'd probably be shocked!"

Hongqin immediately became interested and asked with a curious look, "What was your name before?"

Chunsheng smiled and shook his head. "I can't say, you'll definitely laugh at me!"

"What's your name? Tell me quickly, I promise I won't laugh at you!"

"I really can't tell you now, I'll tell you when I have the chance!"

"No, I have to say it..."

The two of them, one after the other, chased each other into the school gate.

Just then, a person suddenly emerged from behind the wall of the mailroom at the school gate. "Song Chunsheng, stop right there..."
